A new Trojan known as “Sabpab” could hurt Mac users who run Java and Microsoft Word. Security researchers are warning users to make sure their computers
===> have the latest software updates from both Apple and Microsoft, <=== and to use anti-virus software.
In some cases, manual removal of Sabpab may be needed.
Word about Sabpab comes on the heels of another nasty piece of malware, Flashback, that infected up to as many as 600,000 Macs, security experts said, by exploiting a vulnerability in Java software.
Apple last week issued a software-base removal tool for that malware, which can be used by criminals to steal personal information, including passwords.

According to authorities, Murmylyuk was part of a gang that beginning in late 2010, gained access to online trading accounts at Scottrade, e*Trade, Fidelity, Charles Schwab, and other brokerage firms and conducted a series of sham trades.
Once the hackers controlled the accounts, they used stolen identities to open additional accounts at other brokerage houses, and then initiated "unprofitable and illogical securities trades" that benefited the attackers.
They also changed the phone numbers and email addresses on file to prevent victims from being notified of the illegal trades.
If convicted, Murmylyuk faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Le retour récent dans l'actualité du malware Flashback a remis en avant les questions de sécurité autour du Mac.
Les auteurs de ces malware ont également un total contrôle des Mac infectés et peuvent installer et exécuter de nouveaux codes natifs OS X, via le processus de mise à jour de Flashback. Je l'ai observé dans une de mes boîtes virtuelles (un OS X fonctionnant dans une machine VMware), un binaire shell a été installé et un malfaiteur a exécuté des commandes shell sur cette machine virtuelle, pour vite s'apercevoir de la supercherie (on peut voir ces machines virtuelles comme des chèvres attachées à un piquet…, ndr). À mon avis la personne à l'autre bout avait un doute sur l'infection réalisée… et il avait raison.

A few weeks ago our colleagues over at BleepingComputer approached us asking for help with a recent malware outbreak that specifically targets Windows servers. Several companies as well as individuals found their servers being locked by a malware that claims to originate from the “Anti Cyber Crime Department of Federal Internet Security Agency” or short “ACCDFISA”.
Of course such an institution does not exist and even if it did, it surely wouldn’t ask the owner of the server to submit a certain dollar amount using PaySafeCard or MoneyPak codes. The affected servers fell prey to a new malware family that is currently on the loose.
The ACCDFISA malware family belongs to a malware category called “ransomware”. Ransomware is a special kind of malware that takes a system and its data hostage in an attempt to extort money from its owner in exchange for returning control back to him.
What makes the ACCDFISA family special is the unorthodox way in which systems get infected as well as how various third party tools are used to accomplish the malware family’s goals.

Repéré par des chercheurs de chez Kasperky, le malware SabPub exploite une fois encore une faille de sécurité Java dans Mac OS X via des documents Word piégés.
Scoop.it!
Découvert par Kaspersky, ce nouveau malware qui cible les Mac exploite une faille de sécurité Java.
Le répit aura été de courte durée. À peine Apple avait-il publié une mise à jour de Java contenant un logiciel de suppression du malware Flashback qu’un nouveau fléau était découvert. Baptisé SabPub, il a été découvert par l’éditeur Kaspersky qui en a repéré deux variantes.
Comme Flashback, SabPub passe par une faille de sécurité de Java au moyen d’un document Word piégé. Le Mac infecté va ensuite se connecter à un site web depuis lequel sont envoyées des commandes. Un pirate peut notamment obtenir des captures d’écran du Mac de la victime.
Cependant, le mode de diffusion de ce malware via des documents Word piégés rend sa propagation moins puissante que celle de Flashback qui a touché 600 000 machines de par le monde.

This conference at Europol’s new headquarters will mark the tenth anniversary of the ERA organisation and bring together its members, law enforcement agents, civil society representatives, ministry officials and legal practitioners to debate the role of Europol in the coming years. Two major developments in recent years have confirmed the place of Europol as a major EU actor.
First, Council Decision 2009/371/JHA, which entered into force on 1 January 2010, finally established Europol as a European agency and broadened and strengthened its competences. Secondly, on 1 July 2011, Europol inaugurated its new headquarters in a building specifically designed for it.
From dealing almost exclusively with drug-related matters at its origins, Europol now has an ever expanding set of priority areas.
